From the publisher

Downriver is a brilliant London novel by its foremost chronicler Iain Sinclair.

WINNER OF THE ENCORE AWARD AND THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE

The Thames runs through Downriver like an open wound draining the pain and filth of London and its mercurial inhabitants. Commissioned to document the shifting embankments of industry and rampant property speculation a film crew of magpie scavengers high-rent lowlife broken criminals and reborn lunatics picks over the rivers detritus. They examine the wound hoping to expose the cause of the city's affliction . . .

'Remarkable: part apocalyptic documentary part moth-eaten ghost story part detective story. Inventive and stylish Sinclair is one of the most interesting of contemporary novelists' Sunday Times

'One of those idiosyncratic literary texts that revivify the language so darn quotable as to be the reader's delight and the reviewer's nightmare' Guardian

'Crazy dangerous prophetic' Angela Carter
